(1)__________________About three-hundred scientists
increasing danger of climate change
prepared the report after a four-year study. The scientists say
human activities are responsible for increasing amounts of heat-
trapping gases in Earth's atmosphere. Other studies have linked
recent climate changes to such activities.

The report was presented to an organization called the Arctic

Council. (2)___________________ Six groups representing
native peoples also are members. The Council considered the
report last week during a meeting in Reykjavik, Iceland. Robert
Correll of the American Meteorological Society led the
committee that wrote the report. (3)______________ As a
result, native peoples who hunt for these animals will experience
food shortages and economic problems. D.Its members include the United States and the seven other
countries with territory in the Arctic.

The report also warns of possible health risks to people. As new -”The report was …council” and they mentioned six
kinds of wildlife move into the Arctic, animal diseases that can groups -> so it has to be about what nations are in
there(American and seven countries with territory in
infect people may spread. And, northern freshwater fisheries that

supply the native people with food could suffer. The report says
melting ice would add more freshwater to the Arctic Ocean.
(4)________________ As the frozen ground warms, many
existing buildings in the Arctic, roads and industrial areas could
be damaged. The report notes some possible improvements as a
result of rising temperatures. For example, the melting ice will
increase the ability of fish and other sea creatures to use Arctic
B.He says climate changes will have a major effect on the

to extend the period when ships can travel in the area.
-If they don’t take actions, climate change may cause huge
disadvantages,which are shortage of food(the
disappearances of seal and other animals) and the
disastrous outbreak
 F.ThisThe climate change causes ice to melt .

-The climate change causes ice to melt -> make level rise

E.The melting is likely to permit increased exploration for oil

and gas.

-Ships use oil and gas to transport -> melting ice increase
the distance ->lead to further exploration in these two
natural resources
